Trellis AI

Remote · San Francisco / Remote (US)$250K – $300KPosted 7 hours ago YC W24

About the role

Trellis builds and deploys self-improving agents to get patients access to life-saving medicine.

Our AI agents process billions of dollars worth of therapies annually with patients in all fifty states. We do this by automating document intake, prior authorizations, and appeals at scale to streamline operations and accelerate care. We classify medical referrals, understand chart notes, and automate contract and reimbursement search to provide patients with accurate coverage determinations and cost responsibility. Think of us as the infrastructure behind how patients get their medications.

Trellis is a spinout from Stanford AI Lab and is backed by leading investors including YC, General Catalyst, Telesoft Partners, and executives at Google and Salesforce.

The Role

You'll own new business across the healthcare organizations that get patients on high-cost therapies: specialty pharmacies and infusion providers, oncology practices and networks, specialty physician groups, and hospitals and health systems. These teams handle huge volumes of referrals, benefits verifications, and prior authorizations, and every delay holds up treatment. Trellis automates that work so patients start therapy sooner and providers get paid. We'll match you to the segment where your experience and relationships are strongest.

Compensation: $250,000–$300,000 OTE (on-target earnings), including base salary and commission, plus meaningful equity.

What You'll Do

- Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting through discovery, pilot scoping, pricing, and close

- Build pipeline in your segment, from independent providers to multi-site networks and national enterprise accounts

- Sell to operations, revenue cycle, prior authorization, and pharmacy leaders, as well as owners and executives up to the C-suite

- Build ROI cases around authorization turnaround, denials, staff capacity, and time to therapy

- Run multi-stakeholder deals through security review, BAAs, integrations, and procurement

- Partner with our deployment team so pilots convert to production and expand across sites

About You

You're a builder who likes owning a number. You'd rather open a new market than inherit a territory, and you're as comfortable writing a cold sequence as you are walking a VP of Operations through a business case.

You move fast, stay organized, and get curious about how things work. That means learning how a prior authorization moves through a specialty pharmacy, or how to wire up a tool that saves you ten hours a week.

What You'll Bring

- 5+ years of B2B sales experience, including 3+ years as a quota-carrying AE closing new business

- A track record of hitting or beating quota on complex, multi-stakeholder deals

- Experience self-sourcing pipeline, not just working inbound

- Experience selling to healthcare providers, such as pharmacies, infusion centers, physician practices, oncology, or health systems, is a plus

- Familiarity with revenue cycle, prior authorization, benefits verification, or specialty drug workflows is a plus

- Experience selling technical, SaaS, or AI products is a plus

Why Work With Us

- Real impact at massive scale: We serve patients in all fifty states and are scaling to hundreds of healthcare locations. Every account you close means more patients starting therapy sooner.

- Incredible growth and traction: We've grown revenue 10x in the past few months alone.

- Build the playbook, not follow one: You'll help define how Trellis sells into new segments, including health systems, with real input on strategy, tooling, and hiring.

- Work with the founding team: Partner directly with founders and F500 customers, alongside healthcare operations leaders who have overseen 50+ locations.

- Be at the forefront of AI in healthcare: Sell production-grade agentic systems that make critical healthcare decisions, not a demo.

- World-class team: Join teammates who have won international physics olympiads,
